What is the Specialist Support Service ?

Perthyn is committed to supporting individuals with a Learning Disability to live a valued life in the community. In order to do this the model of support adopted ensures that individuals have:

Community presence

Competence

Choice

Individuality

Status and Respect

Continuity

Relationships

However, due to their complex needs and challenging behaviour some individuals that we support may require a more intensive level of support to achieve these principles.

As such Perthyn has its own Specialist Support Service who are able to provide additional advice and support to individuals and their staff teams where a need has been identified. The Specialist Support Service works in partnership with external professionals reflective of a multi disciplinary approach.
